Mine usually only tear up when I see pics of Schu's face on here. I wear Wiley X glasses though and it keeps those tears to a minimum.

I found the best thing for me was glasses I found at Home Depot, for like $4.99 each. They are "close fitting" safety glasses. No, they are not the ugly things, they actually look very good! They come in clear, and dark. I always carry an extra clear in my fork bag in case needed.
Plus, at $4.99, they are easy to replace!

Seriously, go to Home Depot and check out the "close fitting" safety glasses.....they are the best thing I have used, and never tear up at all any more!

Took me many differnt pairs of glasses till I found a pair that blocks nearly all the wind.... now, no more tears. keep trying different styles until you find one that works for you. I got lucky and the ones that work for me are some good looking safety glasses that I get free from work. I have a dark pair and a clear pair. When they get too scratched up I just toss them and grab a new pair from work.

I would think just about any kind of wrap-around glasses would be the best bet...

Picked up a pair and a little store for about $6... I've had them about three years now...

My left eye only tears like crazy when I first start out on a ride, mostly in the cool weather. THen it eventually clears up, but meanwhile it drives me crazy. Haven't found any solution yet - even my full helmet , which I only wear in cold or rainy weather, with a shield doesn't help.

My hubby says the best glasses he has are from Cumberland farms, for under $20.

+1 on this.....or as Kahaone said. I found most of the safety glasses work best.

I wear shades on the highway, on the road also, in town dont wear them much. Some wind but no tears, but have had to ride in a pinch one time without them. I also carry some goggles, (they got all scratched up in my saddlebag over time, lost their cover doa!), and I carry some clear plastic safety glasses now for night time if need be. Had an awesome orange pair...lost them, but they were the best thing I ever had at night. Going after a new pair soon with riding season starting up.
